Civil War

creative team
Writer(s): Mark Millar
Penciller(s): Steve McNiven
Inker(s): Dexter Vines
Colourist(s): Morry Hollowell


My thoughts:
Civil War is one of the biggest event ever happened in the Marvel Universe. I wanted to get it, ever since I read about this in 2006. However, there were too many branch out stories/series (the usual Marvel style... -_-").

Anyway, the story goes like this... there's a mega split between the superheroes upon the introduction of a Superhuman Registration Act. Basically there were 2 groups:

• Anti-Registration;


• Pro-Registration;

and they were at war, which later Captain America was assasinated...

Marvel 1602

writer: Neil Gaiman;
artist: Andy Kubert;

bought this
from: BORDERS;
date: Sunday, 03 June 2007;

My thoughts:
Yesterday, I visited BORDERS, and I saw:

15% OFF for Graphics Novels/Comics*
* buy 2...

ah~ see? there were clauses... so I went looked around, see if I can grab anything for 15% OFF (CHEAPSKATE!!!)...

LOL~

and I saw Earth X, immediately I can recognise the cover is done by Alex Ross, and I was holding it. Then, I saw Marvel 1602, WINNER OF A 2005 QUILL AWARD...

and in my heart thinking:"cool! this title won some award..what ever that award is..." LOL~ then I saw the name - "Andy Kubert".

I've always been a Andy Kubert's fan, since X-men, Wolverine time...

Unforunately, I stopped buying American comics 8-9 years back, due to the fact, they are expensive and poor stories, etc... i.e. I haven't been following the American titles for awhile.

So I turned the book around to read the summary, it seems like 1 of those "What IF" series by Marvel. As I read on, "OH! Marvel icons in the 17th Century - Queen Elizabeth I's reign, the Old English era", that is something interesting, more over, this title won an award, and it's Andy Kubert.

"OK~lah... I got 2 titles in hand oredi...", so I paid at the cashier.

Unwrapped it during dinner at Ikea... Andy Kubert's work, as good as before, however, I'm quite disappointed with the computer colouring... in fact, that's 1 reason why I stopped buying American Comics, digitised colouring, 'cos by doing that, the work will loose out the artists' touch. But can't help it, nowadays everything is digitised.

Read a few pages, seems to be a very nice+interesting plot.

it's always good to grab a few compliations (comics) during SALES, if you don't want to commit to titles.

My thoughts:
The reason I bought this title, as I was looking for any 2 titles to make up for the 15% OFF (see this post).

First thing captured me from far is the cover done by Alex Ross. At 1st, I was a bit sceptical, as a few the American Comic publishers likes to use an artist for cover, and a different one for the content. I don't like such marketing trick, as I felt it's cheating the readers.

Thank goodness, I heart about this title before, and it's quite save to get it, and I did.

Earth X is basically a twisted tales of Marvel Universe set in the future, where most of the Marvel's icons are old or being replaced. The alliances of Super Heroes are divided, due to conspiracy act by an influential villain... that's all I know for now (have to read 1st~mah).

To me, this is like the Marvel's version of DC Comic's Kingdom Come. In fact, it is, after reading Wikipedia.

Alex Ross did a good job with Kingdom Come, and I have strong confident, he'll do it again with Earth X.
